Ingredients:
For the Momos:
2 cups all-purpose flour
Water, as needed for dough
Salt, to taste
1 cup Minced chicken or vegetables (for filling)
1 teaspoon Ginger-garlic paste
1 tablespoon Soy sauce
1 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
1/2 cup Chopped onion
1/2 cup Chopped cilantro
For the Tandoori Marinade:
1 cup Greek yoghourt
2 tablespoons Tandoori masala
1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
1 teaspoon Garam masala
1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Salt, to taste
Red food colouring (optional, for authentic colour)
Instructions:
Make the Dough: Mix flour, salt, and water to form a smooth dough. Knead well and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling: Mix minced chicken or vegetables with ginger-garlic paste, soy sauce, black pepper, onion, and cilantro. Adjust salt to taste.
Shape the Momos: Roll out small portions of the dough into thin circles. Place a spoonful of filling in the centre, and pleat the edges together to seal.
Marinate: In a bowl, prepare the marinade by mixing Greek yoghurt, Tandoori masala, turmeric, garam masala, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, salt, and food colouring. Coat the shaped momos in the marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking:
Arrange the marinated momos on a greased baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until they get a nice char on the edges. Alternatively, you can grill them over charcoal for a more authentic flavour.
Serving:
Serve hot with mint chutney or tamarind sauce.
Serving with Style:
Plating: Serve on a rustic plate or a slate for an elegant touch. Drizzle some mint chutney and tamarind sauce around the momos for a splash of colour.
Garnish: Sprinkle finely chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice over the momos to add freshness. A pinch of chaat masala can also enhance the flavours.
Accompaniments: Pair with a side of crisp onion salad and extra dips like mint chutney and tamarind sauce for dipping.
Presentation: For an interactive experience, serve them on skewers over a bed of sliced onions and bell peppers, mimicking the Tandoori serving style.
